FAQs

An antique gold and platinum chain is a piece of fine jewellery, typically dating from the late Victorian or Edwardian periods, featuring alternating sections or links made from yellow gold and platinum.

These chains were commonly constructed using 15ct or 18ct yellow gold combined with platinum, held together by handcrafted solder joints and fitted with functional clasps such as dog clips or bolt rings.

Authentic pieces from the era often display characteristic hand-assembled link patterns, specific purity hallmarks or makers marks near the clasps, and original fasteners like swivel dog clips.

An antique chain can be worn as a standalone statement piece around the neck, layered alongside modern chains of varying lengths, or used to suspend antique lockets and charms from the dog clip fastener.

Clean gently using lukewarm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft-bristled brush, ensuring the piece is dried thoroughly with a lint-free cloth and stored separately to avoid scratching.
